With over 22 years of experience as a primary care family physician, I have been serving the Austin, Texas, area since 2013. After facing numerous medical challenges in my own family, I understand how daunting navigating the medical system can feel. I passionately work for my patients as they strive toward happier, healthier lives, while fostering an environment of collaboration. I feel my superpowers are warmth and empathy. I aim to treat each patient like a family member, and I look forward to seeing each of my patients, as I greet them with a smile and a hug! In fact, I relish forming closer, lasting bonds; I believe that this patient-provider bond is integral to the foundation of pursuing wellness.
 
I also enjoy preventative medicine. New knowledge about preventing cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s Disease and cancer appears to be discovered frequently, and I think these insights are underutilized in the current traditional medical model. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. The model provides more time and tools to help my patients as they work to optimize their health. My practice also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting.
